Portugal have perfect start under Jorge Jesus

Portugal arrive in Copenhagen with maximum confidence after collecting six points from two matches. Their latest result was a 2-1 victory away to Norway, extending an impressive start to the campaign.

The Selecao are beginning a new era under Jorge Jesus, who took charge in July after Roberto Martinez left following Portugal’s failure at the 2026 World Cup.

Denmark, by contrast, are already under pressure. Brian Riemer’s side have one win and one defeat in Group 4, leaving them three points behind the leaders.

The Danes are also rebuilding after failing to qualify for the World Cup. Their campaign ended with a defeat by Czechia in the play-offs in March 2026, and they now need a response in front of their home supporters to remain in contention.

Balanced recent record

The competitive meetings between the nations have been closely contested since 2006. Across 10 official matches, Portugal have won five times, Denmark have recorded four victories and there has been one draw.

That record gives Portugal a narrow advantage, but offers little to suggest a one-sided contest at the Parken Stadium.

The pre-match prediction is a 1-1 draw. Portugal’s strong opening to the Nations League makes them the form side, but Denmark’s need for points and home advantage could make the fixture difficult for the visitors. The evenly matched head-to-head record also points towards the teams sharing the points.

Africafoot’s prediction is: Denmark 1-1 Portugal.

The listed 1xBet odds are 3.25 for a Denmark win, 3.50 for a draw and 1.86 for a Portugal victory.
